AUDIO How USR gangs negotiated eligible seats. “I have the support of the toughest people in the Barna camp. Năsui gives us two places”

The Nicorist side received exactly two eligible seats for parliamentarians in Bucharest: Cristian Ghica in the Senate and Cristian Seidler in the Chamber of Deputies, a sign that the agreement was finally respected. The two reportedly won their seats after an internal election on Saturday. But the internal election had a previously known result. “Adevărul” wrote on Saturday morning, before the vote in the Alliance, that the people of Nicica Ghica and Seidler will get eligible seats for MPs after an agreement with Dan Barna and Claudiu Năsui and it was. USR and PLUS shared their seats on the list for the December 6 election.

What Cristian Ghica said to his colleagues at the USR Sector 6 branch in the summer according to the recording obtained by Adevărul:

“I say it as clearly as possible: I have the support of the toughest people in the liberal camp (Dan Barna’s camp from USR – no.), Because, during these four years, even if we fight and bang our heads against the walls , I was a man of my word. Unfortunately, they didn’t really listen to me from the new National Office. I told them: yes, talk to the liberals (from USR – no), they cannot be against it on all points. If they talk, I am sure there is a way to reach an agreement on 3 of the 7 issues. On 3 you get along well, on 4 you jump, you fight. I have done it from 2016 to today. To my joy, but also to the unpleasant surprise, the heavy people of the liberals (from the Barna camp, no). Respect me more than our people. There are those who support me and pressure Barna, Ghinea, Năsui. In view of this, I think I have a chance, I have no guarantee to no one that this will be very clear, and I don’t trust anyone’s word: neither Năsui, nor B arna, nobody. But I think I have the opportunity to continue (in Parliament, no). But my fight is for more people. In the score that we are supposed to take, towards 30%, USR and PLUS would have around 16 MPs (in Bucharest, no). I asked Năsui how many places he is thinking of giving PLUS and he said: 7-8. The first time I fell out of my chair. Do you give half? Are you full-minded? It is inadmissible. It would seem correct to be the ratio of 11 to 5, but let’s say it would be 10 to 6, that the one that is larger goes away from it. And then it would be fair in my opinion, that’s what I talked to Năsui and Barna, to be 5 with us, 5 with you. I accept that you are on the buttons and that you are signing and that without that signature nothing will happen, so it would be fair that we had at least four opposition deputies (from the Nicorista side, which theoretically includes Cristian Ghica – No).

That is what I brought to the table in the discussions I have had so far. At this moment, Năsui got on his hind legs and said that 4 is too much, that two would be … For me, two is like … actually nothing, but almost. I don’t have a solution right now and I don’t even know how we can fight. There is a way to get along in three, because if Năsui only gets along with Voiculescu, which is very likely, because they are friends rather than politics, then we are all pa ”, USR senator Cristian Ghica told them, in summer, colleagues from the sector 6 branch.

On Saturday October 10, 2020, during the USR PLUS Bucharest Municipal Conference organized online, the delegates appointed by the two branches of the USR PLUS Alliance in Bucharest voted for the candidates for the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate.
